IMPROVEMENT IN WEATHER-STRIPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 220,833, dated October 21, 1879; application filed April 26, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MICHAEL HERRENS, of St. Louis, in the county of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Weather-Strips; and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a door, showing my device applied. Fig. 2 is a perspective view, and Fig. 3 is a sectional detail view.

My invention relates to weather-strips; and it consists in the combination of a weathercleat attached to the door near the bottom and flanged outward, to serve as a stop to the weather-strip when the door is opened, with ahinge for the weather-strip, constructed with two stop-motion devices, and a lug attached to the carpet-strip, as will herein more fully appear.

A is a cleat attached to the door and provided with the flange a. B is the weatherstrip, which is attached to to the hinge of the 0. is the weather-strip hinge, which same.

consists of the piece 0, which is attached to the door, and has the perforated ears 0 and the piece 0 which has an arm and stop, 0 0 D is a lug or slide-piece, which is attached to the carpet-piece, and serves as a guide to raise the Weather-strip up and pass it over the carpet-piece E.

The stop 0", engaging with the hinge, pre' vents a dropping of the Weather-strip when the door is opened, and by reducingits length the depression of the weather-strip may be regulated. The stop 0", striking against the piece 0, limits the upward movement of the weather-strip.

What I claim as new is In a weather-strip, the cleat A, the weatherstrip B, in combination with the hinge 0, provided with the stop-motion projections c o and arm 0 and the slide-piece D, as and for the purposessubstantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

MICHAEL HERRENS.
